C. S. Perdne's Strawberry Plant Farm 



In bloom it shows the same vitality and 

 hardiness, it being a perfect self fertilizer, 

 not needing to be planted with any other 

 variety. It is also a very late bloomer and 

 has never been known to have been killed 

 by late frosts. In fruit it is one of the 

 most productive, bearing its enormous crop 

 of large, dark rad berries on tail, strong 

 stems, which hold the fruit up well from the 

 ground. The quality of the fruit is excell- 

 ent, and so firm that it is one of the very 

 best shippers. When we consider all the 

 good qualities of this new berry and, it com- 

 ing in so late, when practically all of the 

 other strawberries are gone, we can readily 

 see why it pans out more dollars for us than 

 any other variety. We could give hundreds 

 of testimonials regarding the merits ofthis 

 excellent new berry if necessary, but have 

 only selected the following three from Gov- 

 ernment experts, who have no interests in it 

 whatever, only to give the facts, which are 

 in an abbreviated form." 



U. S. Agricultural Department, Washington, 

 D. C. Considerably later than Gandy, and 

 latest of any standard variety, quality good, 

 foliage very healthy, fruit large and firm. 

 A good plant maker.

Plants made most satisfactory growth of 

 any set out last year. Is strongest grower 

 we have in every place planted. Berries 

 bear on tall, strong stems. One of the 

 heaviest bearers. Later than Gandy, and 

 the best berry that we have. Largest berry 

 in our planting. Quality exceedingly good.
